2.4 Nitrous Feed Line Mounting
1. Determine the route your main nitrous feed line will follow. Ensure the path does not route the nitrous feed line
too close to the exhaust system, suspension, electrical lines/components or tires.
2. Attach nitrous supply line to bottle.
3. Feed nitrous line along proposed route.
4. Secure nitrous supply line to underside of vehicle.
Note: Stainless steel covering of the main nitrous feed line is very abrasive. Shield painted components or
sensitive system components like electrical, fuel lines, brake lines or suspension components to prevent them
from contacting main feed line. Rubber hose can be slid over and retained as a chafe guard.
5. Leave nitrous line loose pending installation of nitrous solenoid.
2.5 Solenoid Mounting
Use the following procedures to install the Performer nitrous solenoids.
Note: Remember to use
Teflon
®
paste only
on pipe threads. Do not use Teflon
®
tape.
Hint: Placement of the solenoid is often limited by the lack of possible mounting locations in the engine
compartment. However, if possible, observe the following suggestions:
Solenoid Safety Information
1. Keep solenoids and lines away from exhaust components.
2. Trial fit the solenoids with all lines attached to ensure a proper fit.
3. Solenoids may be mounted sideways or upside-down, if necessary.
2.5.1 Nitrous Solenoids Mounting
1. Locate the EFI solenoid bracket, solenoids, inlet fitting, outlet fitting, union fitting, solenoid tee, 50 PSI
Nitrous Pressure Regulator, Flare Jet Fitting, and solenoid mounting screws. (Refer to the picture on
the following page for a visual of the components.)
2. Hold one of the nitrous solenoids securely (like in a bench vise) being careful not to harm the solenoid
or block the inlet or outlet port of the solenoid.
3. Install the nitrous filter fitting (Blue fitting 4AN X 1/8 NPT), using liquid Teflon
®
paste, in the inlet port
of the nitrous solenoid.
4. Install one of the 1/8 NPT male sides of the solenoid tee, using liquid Teflon
®
, on the outlet port of the
nitrous solenoid. The female port of the solenoid tee should be facing outward.
5. Install the remaining 1/8 NPT male end of the solenoid tee, using liquid Teflon
®
, into the inlet port of
the second nitrous solenoid. Rotate the second solenoid so that it parallels the first.
6. Install the 3AN X 1/8 NPT (blue straight fitting) into the outlet port of the second nitrous solenoid.
7. Install the 1/8 NPT Male Union into the female 1/8 NPT hole on the solenoid tee. Be sure to use liquid
Teflon
®
on the threads of the plug to prevent leakage.
8. Install the 50 PSI Nitrous Pressure Regulator inlet port (bottom of the regulator) on the 1/8 NPT male
union fitting of the assembly.
9. Install the Flare Jet Adapter in the outlet port (side) of the 50 PSI nitrous pressure regulator.
10. Verify the desired mounting location for the solenoid assembly.
11. After the mounting location is determined, tighten all the fittings.
12. Remove the assembly from the vise and mount the solenoid bracket to the solenoids.
13. Leave all wiring loose for electrical systems installation.
14. Connect the main nitrous feed line to the inlet fitting (4AN X 1/8 NPT nitrous filter fitting) of the first
nitrous solenoid.
